Crear Studio featured artist Alex Vasquez in Brava, a collection of experimental mixed-media sculptures, acrylic paintings, performances, and a site-specific installation. Brava juxtaposes gender and rage with traditional Indigenous practices, while offering an alter of celebration. In remembrance
with Día de los Muertos and in celebration with traditional festivities, Vasquez’s site-specific exhibition “BRAVA” was showcased at Crear Studio in Santa Ana from Thursday, November 3 to Saturday, December 17, 2022.
​
About the Artist:
Alexa Vasquez is a writer and artist from Oaxacalifornia. Oaxacalifornia is the only home she can claim. Her artforms are infused with memories of growing up in an immigrant household, leaving Tlalixtac de Cabrera, Oaxaca as a child, and transitioning and surviving trans womanhood in the United States.
